Chapter 14: Finding the Right Book

This chapter had a lot of information in it about helping students finding books they like to read. Beers gives tips about finding great fiction and non-fiction books. She again stresses that students learn about reading by doing it, not just learning about it, which is why having SSR or going to the school library is so important. I really liked her suggestions of having a "good books" box and found it really interesting. That seems like a great to figure out what types of books reluctant readers enjoy, as seen in the example with the girl who always choose mysteries. I really enjoyed this chapter and loved George's little crack at the end.
